Melanocortin 4 receptor agonists activate obesity-related hypertension

2013-02-15 16:23:00 (читать в оригинале)

A cellular correlation between melanocortin 4 receptor agonists and their role in obesity-associated hypertension has been identified, according to data published in Cell.“Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with recent statistics showing that obese adults are three to four times more likely to develop high blood pressure,” study researcher Nina Balthasar, PhD, from the school of physiology and pharmacology at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, said in a press release. “In order to curb the escalating incidence of obesity and obesity-related diseases, a primary prevention goal must be to understand the physiological processes underlying our vulnerability to weight gain — knowledge that is central to the development of novel, effective therapies.”

AMA launches $10 million initiative to remodel medical education

2013-02-15 16:23:00 (читать в оригинале)

The American Medical Association has announced a competitive $10 million grant that challenges medical schools to submit proposals for bold, innovative projects to alter medical education, according to a press release. “Rapid changes in health care require a transformation in the way we train future physicians,” Jeremy A. Lazarus, MD, president of the AMA, said in the press release. “The AMA is deeply committed to redesigning undergraduate medical education to prepare the medical students of today for the health care of tomorrow.”

CMS issues final rule on Physician Payment Sunshine Act

2013-02-15 16:23:00 (читать в оригинале)

CMS recently announced in a press release its final rule on the National Physician Payment Transparency Program: Open Payments, also known as the Sunshine Act, aimed to increase transparency among physicians, drug and device manufacturers and health care providers. As part of the Affordable Care Act, the rule calls for manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program to disclose payments made to doctors and teaching hospitals to CMS. According to the release, these manufacturers and group purchasing organizations must also report physician ownership and investments in these enterprises. This data will be publicly available on a CMS website by September 30, 2014, and entities required to report information under the rule will be able to review and correct reported data before it is released to the public. Collection of this information will begin August 1 of this year, according to the release.

Preinfarction angina associated with significant myocardial protection for stenting

2013-02-15 16:23:00 (читать в оригинале)

A retrospective analysis and the largest cohort to date found that preinfarction angina is associated with significant myocardial protection for primary PCI with stenting during STEMI.“Preinfarction angina is very common (20%-40% of patients), but is never taken into account in clinical trials that are examining ways to reduce infarct size or reperfusion injury. These patients should be accounted for in clinical trials because they may have a significant impact on the data,” study investigator Jay H. Traverse, MD, with Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis, told Cardiology Today’s Intervention.

PFO closure bested medical management alone for reduction of ischemic stroke

2013-02-15 16:23:00 (читать в оригинале)

Patients with a history of cryptogenic stroke had better outcomes with patent foramen ovale closure as compared with medical management alone, according to data from the RESPECT PFO trial.Results from the overall trial, presented previously, demonstrated that PFO closure with the Amplatzer PFO Occluder device (St. Jude Medical) reduced the frequency of recurrent ischemic strokes, in comparison with medical management alone consisting of antiplatelet medication or warfarin. The trial included 980 patients (mean age, 46 years). Researchers performed detailed patient screening to exclude cardioembolism, large artery arteriopathy, small artery disease and other non–PFO-related stroke causes.At the International Stroke Conference 2013, Jeffrey L. Saver, MD, director of the stroke and vascular neurology clinics at Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues presented data on qualifying and outcome ischemic strokes in the RESPECT PFO trial.
